Percentages & Possibilities

Okaaaayyyy...That was quite the breather! Sorry for the lapse!

Here is something that is bothering me lately about some of the products I see listed on eBay, Etsy and in stores, etc. - so everywhere! It is also a problem I grapple with personally when formulating, because you want to have it all in one product, right? That is what we are always going for. And uninformed customers may accuse the industry of making money by offering several products when only 1 is needed....not so! You cannot fit everything into one product. Someone would have done it, called it "lord of the products" and taken the prize!

Since there is a minimum to maximum percentage for each ingredient, how is it that there are products that seem to have EVERYTHING in it at the maximum percentages, even though it would be mathematically impossible? It's like that old adage about giving 110% - except there is surely error or deception involved. One cannot have a solution that is power packed with ingredients like the following... I am all for it - and strive toward it, except you eventually run out of space! So it can only follow that if there are too many ingredients listed on the label or ad, then the ingredients are not at a high enough percentage to do the job. I am missing some from this list and will come back to revise, but this will give you a good idea. Get out your calculator! Look at the recommended use levels for these:

Argireline - at least 5%

Caffeine - 1-5%

CoQ10 - 1%

DMAE - 1-6%

Hyaluronic Acid - 0.25% to 2%

Idebenone - 1%

Matriyxl 3000 - 3-8%

Pepha Tight - 1 - 5%

R-ALA - 25%

Salicylic Acid - 0.5-2% (up to 6% in foot cream)

Shea Butter - up to 100%

Vitamin C-Ester - up to 25%

This will serve as a nice little index! I think I will keep it updated :-) And add ingredients to it - so watch those percentages! And if you are adding something just so you can name it on the label, just save it for your next project, because you may just be throwing your money away!
